An introduction to India

India is the land of diverse cultures, customs, and climates, and India’s rich history dates back many centuries. Home to the Indus Valley Civilization, the country is also the birthplace of four major religions Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Sikhism. India witnessed the rise and fall of many empires and dynasties such as Mauryan Empire, Guptas, Chalukyas, Delhi Sultanate, Mughals, and Marathas.

The country, in the early 18th century was gradually annexed by the East India Company, and following the 1857 revolt, passed under the control of the British Crown.

Following independence in 1947, India embarked on a policy of reforms under its democratic leadership. Over the years, its economy witnessed rapid growth, and today it is the world's seventh-largest by nominal GDP and third-largest by purchasing power parity (PPP).
